Chlamydia - when caught?

Hi - I am male and recently been diagnosed with Chlamydia. I had unprotected vaginal sex with a girl about 18 months ago for just a few minutes. I then went to Asia travelling for 3 months where I took 100mg Doxycycline every day for about 60 - 70 days (for malaria). Since then I had unprotected vaginal sex again about 4 weeks ago (only time since last time). I had a couple of symptoms and then got diagnosed with Chlamydia.

My questions are:
a) Would the Doxycyxline have cleared up any Chlamydia (if present) prior to Asia. Given that I had no symptoms before recently.
b) Is it most likely that the most recent partner of 4 weeks ago is the most likely source of the infection? If not, then I would have the infection for at least 18 months - 2 years without symptoms and is this likely?

Any help would be great. I have learnt my lesson.

odds are that long term doxy like that would've cleared it up.  

protected sex and protected oral sex helps to protect you from chlamydia as well as other std's.  would save you a lot of worry , testing and treatment :)
